From / 4 4adrid, we learn by these Papers, that the Por tuguese Government had formally demanded that the Regime ants which had deserted into Spain, and the arms w hich had been taken from them, should be re turned ; the latter part of the demand had been com plied frith by the Spanish Government. The de parture of Mr. LANIn, the British Minister, for the . Royal residence at Ildefonso, appears to have excited many c tonjectures in Madrid. The } dote contains an article from Augsburgh, under . date of August 20, which describes Constan . ttrioph as having been the scene of fresh scenes of anarch .y and bloodshed The religious prejudices of the people are said to have been offended by some of the ne mw measures of the SULTAN, to such an extent, as , to lead them to' use seditious cries, and to repulse the m; ilitary sent to seize the most 'outrageous ; a second sally of the soldiers overpowered the mob, and hund reds of the factious paid the penalty of their rashness by death.

Me effects of the recent measure of His MA JE STY'S Government, were still further manifested ye, tterday. The prices of oats, beans, and peas, de dined most materially, and wheat and barley found buyers at the prices of the preceding market day. NI /bile this effect has been produced in our market, t! is Order in Council has of course produced a con trary one in the markets of foreign countries. An e normous rise in the price of all descriptions of grain, F' las already taken place in those ports to which t he knowledge of the measure had reached, and of ;ourse, similar consequences will be felt in most of the 4 Corn Markets of Europe. The stimulus which this oust necessarily give to trade, will be very great—and ihe effect of it will be immediately felt throughout 1 ;he whole of this Kingdom. The grower of corn in a foreign country, who )btais more than the average and calculated price of his commodity, will expend a part of that profit in procuring additional comforts, and the majority of . the articles necessary for this purpose, either directly 'or indirectly, will come from, or be furnished by this country. The very expectation of this effect, has already revived the trade of many of the manufacturing towns. Letters from all the districts in which bum wins was most dull, announce that a life and cheerful ness has been inspired by the hopes which have been :revived, and by the actual orders which have been received, since this first abandonment of the Corn Restrictive Regulations. If this proceeding should be followed up, as we h ill) no doubt it will be, by the new Parliament on its a isernbling, with, the general and permanent opening of the Ports for the importation of grain, on payment of a duty of fair and moderate amount, the manufacturing posperity of Great Britain will revive, and we shall ht..er no further cries of distress in our streets, nor complaints of the decline of our commerce, revenue, or liational enterprise. `The Mexican paper El Sol, from 25th June to Judy 2, inclusive, reached us yesterday, but•they con tain no news whatever. They are filled with domestic affairs, such as the Education of the People, Vaccina tion, and local occurrences. 'We received last night, the Allgenicine Zeitung to the Ist instant, and Dutch Papers to the 4th. Their contents are unimportant, with the exception of al l *retitle which we subjoin from Trieste, dated August '43, by which we are led to believe that the Greek flees had obtained some advantages ever the Turkish fleet when it was divided. The statement of Is KARIM% defelt and retreat to Calamata is also repeated in this article : TairsTE, AUG. 23.—Letters from Syra, of 28th and 29th July say, that the Turkiih fleet had separated into two divisions, miss went to Suda, the other took in troops at Mitylene and Selo, and attacked Samos. Rut the Greek fleet of forty sail under Sachtury soon arrived. About the 27th July, there was an action in which a Greek fire ship burnt a large Turkish vessel. The next day the battle continued, but the r esu l t was not known at _§yra. Ibrahi m , w h o had advanced with 4,000 men against Maina having been defeated in three engagements with the Greeks, hastily retreated to Calamata. His whole ray in Greece a t th at t i me was estimated at 7,000 or ;, 0 0 teen, so that th e G ree k s h a d resolved to act on the , ° : l ensime, for which p ur p ose 4,000 R urneliots were to j o i n 'lle other troops in the field. Athens defends itself bravely against the enemy encamped under its walls. The city is well firnished with provisions and brave soldiers. • Another and another of these eternal meetings of wranitling companies took place yesterday and the day hefori yesterday, and will take place to-morrow and the day after ; but they are all bankrupt in hope, if not in reality, for the golden dreaming shareholders are now but too sadly assured- that they can never realize " the gay to-morrow of the mind," which they were led to anticipate from the illusory rcpre.sentatiOns of the worthy projectors, and right worthy Directors or these moonshine speculations.

At these Sessions on Saturday, the Magistrates Mani fested a very different spirit from that which Mr. Bankes and other Justices are reported to have done at Winborne on Friday. On the entrance of the Reporter into the Justice-roma, before the other Magistrates had arrived, he was recognized by Charles Bowles, Esq., the worthy Re corder, who said, " Mr. Reporter, I am very glad to see you here. And y ou may de pen d upon i t , that at these Sessions you will never find hindrances, but the utmost accommodation that it is in our power to afford you." The only case of the slightest importance tried here, show the slight regard which many persons pay to the ob ligations of oaths. A labourer of the name of Brickill, of Motcomb, was brought up in custody, on suspicion of having stolen some cart harness from a Mr. Bennett, of Shaftesbury, and selling it to' his master. He declared that he had found it, and that he bad a witness to prove it. The witness, on being called, turned out to be his mother. The RECORDER said, that he had great objection to this woman's swearing, considering her near relationship to the prisoner. She appeared, however, most anxious to do so, and on being asked if she knew what would become of her if she took a false oath, she instantly said, " I shall be d--d to hell for ever." The Recorder still objected to her being sworn, when one of the Magistrates suggested the propriety of examining the prisoner and his mother separately, and the latter was ordered to withdraw. Upon their separate examinations, it turned out that the son had picked up, as he said, the harness in . one plane, and the witness would have sworn, if she had been permitted, that she saw him pick it up at a point widely different. The man is committed for trial at the Quarter Sessions. The penalty incurred by Mr. flutter, for printing with out putting his name at the foot of a circular-letter, as re ported a fortnight ago, hai been red uce d to 51 . b y the Ma gistrates, and i t i s understood that all the other informa tions will be withdrawn. SALISBURY PETTY SESSIONS, SEPT. 5. A number of informations were presented here to-day against women, and childr en , f or entering the woods ofthe men, Eail of Pembrok e , a t G rave l y, f or the - pur i pos t e of gathering nuts, notwithst an di ng b oar d s had been forbidding the practice. The ge nera l p l ea o f the paurtitelps was, that they were distress e d f or want o f work, and did not know of the notice; but they all acknowledged them selves guilty of the offence. One was a person who brought testimonials to the excellence of his character as a servant, but being out of place, he thought no harm in gathering nuts for sale. Another was a poor woman who h a d d one so, she said,all her life time, and " her forefathers was our of emp l oy , and his for a hundred years back before her." A third was a ren must ha ve starve d b ut widowed d u n o g w :I d a m n , o w t h h e o r , a al I ‘ d v i t t i h i e r e s s e s c a h i i d l d , for his industry. The Magistrates said, that considering the people were out of work, they could not severely visit the offence, though they were bound in law to convict the parties. They would, however, exercise the utmost lenience, and therefore fine the parties only sixpence "eh. The e great • di ffi culty, howevef, arose from the el, Pence of the information, which was in each case moe Shillings.. The parties expressed , their inability to Pity this sum : it was ordered that if the amount should litformations, Mier. not he paid forthwith, the offenders should be committed .to Fullerton gaol for fourteen days each.

Thisfetition was - Prisented for , the purpose of superseding the commission,' - and.' the great point Was, whether the commission bad been taken out for the purpose of putting an end to an action that had been previously commenced by Mr. Bourne, and not with the additional intention of letting the commission have its operation as a commission. This branched off into two ques tions ; the first was, what was the matter of fart ; and then, what was the law ? The opinion of his Lordship most decidedly was, that if the object of the commission was, as above, the law would not allow it to stand. This he stated, following the law as laid down in Ex-parte Wade, in the matter of Wade, decided by by himself, which law he was prepared to say, he would again lay dowu, if he h a d th e same case to deal with to-day, notwith standing, from representations made of that case, it appeared to him it had been rather quarrelled with elsewhere. The inquiry consequently was, what was the object of taking out the commission. This was to be collected from the depositions under the proceedings, an d t h e ' a ffid av it s filed in the matter. From these, his L or d s hi p ' s j u d gment was, a nd p ar ti cu l ar ly f rom a letter written by the person who took . outthe commission, that the intention was, that its operation should be entirely concluded by putting an end to that action, and that therefore the commission his Lordship would supersede, perusing the order himself, that the principle on which he proceeded might not be mistaken. His Lordship heard several applications, and closed the business before him at one o'clock, stating.that he should not sit again till Satur day, which he meant to make a long day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—(Tms Day.) • This morning a man named William Leicester, was brought up charged with having feloniously run over an old man named Solomons, and caused his death. The unfortunate old man was well known in the City, where he made his living by hawking razor-strops about the Exchange and in public-houses. On Friday h e was crossing Comilla, when the pri soner , w h o w as drt6ig a. Croydon errand -cart at the rate of eight or nine miles an hour, ran over him. The old man died on Tuesday in consequence of the injury he received. It was stated that the prisoner was at jhe time intoxicated. A Coroner's Inquest will be held to-night on the body, and the prisoner was remanded, to await the verdict of the Jury. BOW-STREET—(Tuts DAT.) John Hall, an athletic man, about sixty years old, and six feet high, was brought before Sir IL Bernie, on a charge of creating a disturbance at the Admiralty. A Clerk from the Admiralty stated, that the prisoner ,had frequently applied at the office to have a pension al lowed to him, whereby they were induced to consult the Governor of Greenwich Hospital as to his claim. Admi ral Keith in reply, informed them that the prisoner had been admitted as a pensioner into the Hospital in 1819; that in 1824 lie retired on a pension of 12/. a year at his own request, but finding that insufficient, he returned in a short time after as an inmate,—some charges of misconduct having been preferred against him, a mong o th ers t h a t o f haring swindled a person at Deptford out of two dogs, he absconded, and took with him several articles belonging to the hospital. After an unlicensed absence of five months he returned, and demanded to be reinstated 'on the esta blishment, which demand was refused. The Clerk added, that he was in the habit of annoying them every day. The prisoner acknowledged that he had annoyed them, and would do so again. Sir RICHARD BIRNIE said, that his object evidently was to bully the Admiralty out of a pension, but he would find himself much mistaken.. As there was no particular charge against him of which a Magistrate could take cog nizance, he ordered him to be discharged. prisoner and the clerk then retired, and in about three quarters of an hour returned, when, Richard Legget, a Messenger belonging to the Admiralty, charged the pri soner with having threatened to break his head. His de position having been taken, the prisoner said, " I did it on purpose, I told you I should be back again."—He then left the office in the custody of an officer. MARYLEBONE—(Tnts DAY. ) James Maelauchlan was brought forward on a char g e of assault by his own wife, an interesting looking woman. She qtated that her husband was in the habit of beating her for some time back ; and last night in particular, about twelve o'clock, as they were in bed together, be rose up, and struck her so severely on the face that the blood flowed profusely; they have three young children. Mrs. Austin stated, that she and her husband lodge in the same house with the prisoner ; last night she was awakened by the cry of murder from the prisoner's room; she went in, and saw Mrs. Maclauchlan's head bleeding. The prisoner admitted the charge, but promised that be would never do it again. --Committed. LAMBETH-STREET.. --(Tess DAY, ) James Connolly and another Irishman were charged with a most savage assault on Daly, who stated, that he was sitting in the King Harry public-hOuse eating his dinner. There was a party of Irish in another quar ter of the room. When witness had finished his dinner, he was preparing to leave ' but one of the party addressed him with " how sour y ou look." The witness turnedand asked if they spoke to him, when one of the party struck him on the head and stunned him. Sir D. WILLIASIS.—" Was that either of the prisoners ?" The Witness said, he believed that was the man, (point ing to Connolly.) Sir. D. WILLIAMS—" Vt,tl believe; that will not do, sir, you must swear positively." The complainant said, he had a witness who had seen the whole. William Reeves corroborated the first part of the com plainant's statement, and added, that Connolly " took his fist" and struck the complainant in the face, which knocked off his hat; and nearly fractured his skull with a quart pot. The prisoner was remanded till Saturday. Joseph Richards, a boy who had been in His Majesty's Mint, was charged with stealing a piece of blank gold, being an unfinished sovereign. Mr. Atkinson identified the gold, and the prisoner was committed.

Yesterday a .Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the following Captains were sworn into the command of their respective ships, viz.: Captain John Rennie Manderson, of the Bridgewater, and Captain Thomas Baker, of the Lowther Castle, consigned to Bombay and China. A few months since several of the inhabitants of Kensington-gore, Knightsbridge, and Brampton, sign ed a memorial to his Majesty, soliciting the privilege of a gate for foot passengers into Hyde Park—there being no accommodation of the sort between Hyde Park-corner and Kensington, except ' through the Horse Barracks at Knightsbridge, which is on suffer ance, and' is both dangerous from restive horses, and little conducive to the morals of females entrusted with children. The Memorial was presented by Lord Morley to Mr. Peel, and submitted by the Right Honourable Secretary to His M a j es ty, who was gra ciously pleased to accede to the prayer of the pet - tioners, and orders were forthwith given for its erec tion ; and it is now in progress, and no doubt in a few days will be open ; it is situated opposite Lord Listowel's. M. Jourdan, a French Doctor of Laws, and an advocate of celebrity, who had, at different times, been sent officially to England, for the purpose of making professional investigations 'in our criminal jurispru deuce, died lately at Deal, whither he had gone on'a short visit. He contemplated a speedy return to his native country, when his strength, already much im paired by excessive labour, entirely failed him, and that illness followed which terminated so fatally.

PRACTICABILITY OF A CANAL BETWEEN THE PACIFIC AND THE ATLANTIC.—The province of Choco, in the kingdom of New Grenada, contains, in the opinion of Humboldt, a line of country, of about eighty leagues, through which a canal could be cut, but which would not be applicable to vessels of burden, as the mouth of Arato, or river Darien, has only six feet over it.

A NEW ORDER or RESURRECTION MEN.—Last week a number of dogs entered the Church-yard of Askeaton, and set about, tearing open the graves of some persons recently interred ; two bodies were ex posed to light, one of a child, which those animals devoured most voraciously, and the greater part of the body of a man, whose head was forcibly torn from the trunk. Some of the inhabitants got alarmed on dis covering this dreadful spectacle, and set a watch on the Church-yard the following night, when the dogs again returned, but were immediately fired on, and one of them shot; the others fled with the greatest celerity.— Dublin Morning Register.

S. (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) The improvement in our market, which we noticed in our report of. Saturday last, was fully supported yes terday, and is very considerably increased to-day ; and we have really been much pleased to witness that bustle and liveliness which, in olden times, we were wont to experience and to enjoy. We would willingly persuade ourselves that it is an earnest that our days of darkness and adversity are 110 W fast drawing to a close, and that a far brighter and more cheering pros pect is about to break upon our vvoe-bestrieken eyes. Certain, however, it is, that we have had a very good day. Our printing-houses are most of them fully at work. Power-loom cloth has gone off at an advance on Saturday's prices. The Blackburn manuf ac t urers are literally . holding ! back their goods for better prices. Spinners have obtained an advance on their yarns ; which we suggested, on Saturday last, as highly pro bable. Some extensive orders from different foreign houses have to-day been rejected ; from the circum stance of the limits of their prices being below the cur rent prices of our markets, although it is probable that they were fully eq . ual to them at the time they were first given. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Mercury, fiept. 5.) We understand the number of London and country buyers, who have been in the market these few days, was much greater - than for weeks putt. The demand for gray cloth continues pretty good, and the operations of many of the calico-printers hav►ng been much impeded by want of water, it is probable that the copious showers we have now had, by tending to remove that deficiency, will brine more of them into the market, whom the drought has h►therto kept out. The'export demand for twist still continues. In the mean time it ►s satisfactory to heat, that in some parts of the country a considerable proportion of the hands who were unemployed have now obtained work, whilst in all the cotton districts employment is less scarce than it was. 'The wages, particularly of the hand-loom weavers, how ever, are, and we fear are likely to continue, very low. (From the Sheifieki The manufrictures'of Sheffield not being brought into an open market for sale, the exact state of trade is not easily ascertained. We have not beard of any alteration in the commercial affairs of this neighbourhood, and so far as the poor mechanics are e ff e ct e d, we b e li e V e the distress is rather on the increase than otherwise. There has, now ever, existed one peculiarity in the case of Sheffield during the period'of embarrassment with which the whole king dom has been affected, which justifies the fulleit confidence in its general solvency; we refer to the remarkable fact of no failures of any consequence having taken place. This it a singular circumstance, and one which, we fear, applies to no other town of any thing like the magnitude of Shef field. There have been few Instances of property offered for public sale recently. Sheffield is not a place where much speculation is carried forward; and the capital em ployed in business is not fictitious, brit reel. If large for tunes have not been suddenly amassed by hicky experi ments, ruinous devastation has not been the result of unlucky adventures. Our mercantile progress has been gradual, and perhaps rather dependent upon bur industry than our enterprise. MANUFACTURE OF CLOTll.—Extract of S. letter, dated Gloucester, Sept. 5 ;—," The clothing trade in 'Wiltshire and Somerset is not in an improving state., Trade, for many years past has been far from a wholesome state, having been maintained by the expedients of long bills, trucking, bartering, A most injurious part of the system of trade, in our manufacturing districts, is that fa miliarly known by the term of trucking. To explain this, the master-manufacturers employ large ,numbers of opera tives in weaving, &T., .who carry the goods, when finished, to different markets, where they obtain a ready: wale by barter for articles of consumption. These articles are forced upon the operatives in paynient for labour; so that it may be fairly stated, that for every.shilling's worth of labour not more than from 6d. to Bd. worth of g oo d s i s giVen. While this system of trade is carried on, t hi s im possible for th e f a i r dealer to compete in any market, and equally impossible that any pariah can maintain the nu merous poor, which, from an insufficiency of support for their labour, are driven to maintain themselves and fami lies upon parish alloWance, and who throw at the same time an equal, if not greater, quantity of manufactured goods upon the market. In the clothing districts of Glou cestershire this mode of traffic is also carried on." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. PONTEFRACT RACES.—Tuesnav, &tr. 6.
